Inside The Mind | Poetry

Yearning for Home

Foreign place, foreign faces
She feels so out of place
She misses 'home'
But where is 'home' now?

She smiles, she laughs
She builds up walls again
Will it break? Or will it stick?

She doesn't quite fit in
She desperately wants to
She tried but gave up

She cries at night

She eats alone too

She asks herself a lot
"Is this what life has become?"

So she finally gives up
Gives in to this new life

She wishes for the past
She wishes for her old self

But she can't
That old life is gone

She goes through the day
With a smile on her face
But atleast the crack
Can't be seen by them
